    Re: Which One! Orange Unlimited Broadband Or Sky Broadband Max

    hi, I was with Wanadoo then they went to Orange so have been with them about 4yrs - had Livebox for over 2yrs now - never had a problem until the other day.... for some reason we were not getting a signal into the livebox and it too 2 days and numerous calls to their call centre IN INDIA which was really not much help - they were working to a script and kept going over the same thing.

    When we did get a guy from the UK team to call us, they would not speak to my husband who was the only one at home (remember they called us and its a PC / modem we are talking about not bank funds!), I had to ring India to give his details so they would talk to him - asked for a call back, they cannot do that they are an INCOMING call centre only!

    My ....how frustrated we were!! Eventually we unplugged everything again (4th time) and it somehow then worked!! I was considering now moving to Sky for £1 extra per month we get 4 sky mix channels as it includes broadband / free calls / all freeview channels however, having read the reviews on Sky, not sure sure now!

    With all the ISP's out there I thought I'd pass this on, I have just signed up with Madasafish, the service is amazing, and with them now having been bought by BT it can only get better, I don't want to sound as if I'm a broadband novice (I have been with a nunmber of ISP's over the years) and I can trully say Madasafish are the best, I am getting speeds in excess of 5 meg (which lets face it is lightening quick) and the only time I have needed to phone them they answered my question straight away (their help line also only costs 4p/min) very cheap compared to most..

    All the Hardware eg. wireless Modem, Wireless USB Adapter and Filters were free and they are one of the cheapest providers around (for speeds like I am getting)..

    I'm honestly not sure which one is "better" per say, but I've heard a lot of reports from people on Orange Broadband losing their connection for up to 48 hrs. As I've not heard really anything about Sky Broadband though, I can't be sure. Best idea is to look on a specialist broadband forum.
